    best pump for sump/fuge return?

    I looked at the eheim pumps and I need something with a bit more push...I need at least 2500 gph. I can't find higher than around 1500 with eheim...maybe I am not looking in the right place.

    best pump for sump/fuge return?

    I have been testing pumps for danner. The last and longest lasting one was the hybrid hy-drive, but that too has failed. So I need a reliable quiet powerful pump to. Pump up about 6 feet. any suggestions on the best submersible pump that will hold up to saltwater? The rotor in the danner...

    Coraline Algae on Glass

    Just curious, I have now had an established tank for nearly 4 years and while coraline algae growth is noticeable on most LR there is NONE, ok maybe 3 quarter size patches on the back wall of a 125 gallon tank. Why?

    RO / DI Tubing

    I am just curious, what type of tubing people use? I purchased a RO DI filter and it originally came with blue tubing, I have adjusted the flow a lot and since then I have used the 1/4" OD tubing that you buy at the big box stores and three times now it has bursted and I come home to water...

    Updated Reef Pictures

    Here are just some pictures and a movie of my tank....even though PFO lighting was horrible to me and went out of business, their light is still doing a good job now that I have new power supplies from another reefer who made them. Anyhow: http://picasaweb.google.com/philipde...mD77L9ip6z0QE#

    New Green Toadstool & Chili Coral

    How long does it take for the toadstool to open all its polyps in good conditions? How about the chili coral? The chili has like three polyps open.

    New Green Toadstool & Chili Coral

    Just a few pics of two new corals I put in my tank from this site. The toadstool is out in the open and seems to have opened up pretty well, only a couple polyps sticking out though. I put the chili coral in a dark area nearly in the path of a return, but no polyps have opened yet. They have...

    Electric Shorts

    So I think I am shorting out my equipment with high humidity. There are drops of water all over my equipment under my tank. This has never happened before, but neither has my AC going dead. So can I assume that the shorts are all being caused now by the increased humidity? I have started a...

    PFO Lighting/Solaris Out of Business

    Nah, PFO wouldn't have been able to get a patent, because they would have had to prove their system actually worked without having so many warranty issues!!! haha

    Solaris LED Systems

    PFO is out of business, there that was an easy decision.

    PFO Lighting/Solaris Out of Business

    Yeah, I consider myself very very lucky!!! I just sent my unit in for warranty work towards end of december...they returned it with everything fixed all new bulbs...however I think one of the power supplies was bad and they said they were waiting to get some in, it seems in timer mode, one half...

    Pulsating Xenia Nightmare

    Well we will see, I should have made it clear that it was two seperate incidents...the first time they all died and i bought more, this batch is working on dying right now...we will see what happens tomorrow...

    Pulsating Xenia Nightmare

    Now both of these incidents are my fault, but it amazes me how such a stupid simple coral can be so delicate... 1. Lights were left off aquarium for about 10 days. Everything survived except xenia, which melted away. 2. Heater unplugged for something and forgot to plug it back in, caught the...

    How long without lights? Will they survive?

    Two things: 1. Someone local was kind enough to lend me some lights, thank you! 2. I also agree that buying something, just to use it for a short period of time and then return it is wrong...not stealing, not theft, but wrong...ethically....morally. Its good more people don't do that, because...

    How long without lights? Will they survive?

    What model light did you have? What did you do with it? When I spoke to them, they told me they put faulty components into the light. These electronics would not regulate the electricity and allow for burnouts and faulty displays and controls. Great company. To top it they said I am...
